Open Question part: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Since I don't have any thing other than Gentoo : does anyone know how |
| 20 |
other distros handle static libs in their -dev packages? Does anyone |
| 21 |
care about static libs except for maybe really really low level stuff? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
My Opinion part: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I'd definitely would like to see them leave my system for good as I have |
| 26 |
no use for 99% of them whatsoever. |

Open Question part: |

Could some FEATURE disable static libs building by default in desktop |
| 31 |
profiles, with some (like the 5 packages Roman pointed out) using |
| 32 |
something like a RESTRICT? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
(These questions are really not meant to be inflammatory and they are |
| 35 |
honest questions as I'm learning the trade here. Yet, if I'm way off, |
| 36 |
please let me know :) ) |
